If you love being outdoors and hands-on learning, you will
love the 4-H Shooting Sports program! Under the guidance of a
Certified 4-H Shooting Sports Coordinator and trained adult
volunteers, participants can learn one or all the disciplines
offered through 4-H: archery, shotgun, rifle, .22 pistol, and
hunting and outdoor skills.

What
makes our program different? 4-H Shooting Sports clubs are founded
on the principles of Positive Youth Development. Our primary goal is
to support the youth in the program – to ensure they feel welcome,
they grow in leadership independence, and they are inspired to be
generous in service to others, as they master skills in the Shooting
Sports project. The focus of all 4-H programs is the development of
youth both as individuals and as responsible, productive citizens.
Through the 4-H Shooting Sports program, youth learn marksmanship,
the safe and responsible use of firearms, the principles of shooting
and archery, and much more. The program activities and the support
of caring adult leaders provide young people with opportunities to
develop life skills, self-worth, and conservation ethics.
The
Logan County 4-H Shooting Sports club will meet on Saturday, June
18, July 16, August 27, and September 10, 9 AM to 11 AM. The
disciplines of archery, rifle, and hunting and outdoor skills are
open to 8- to 18-year-old participants. Shotgun and .22 pistol are
taught to 10- to 18-year-old participants.
